2 Bedroom Condo for Rent at 28 Chidlom, Chidlom

A corner two-bedroom at 28 Chidlom

This 90 sq m corner apartment at 28 Chidlom has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an unusually generous living area for the Chidlom district. It sits in the Villa building of SC Asset's development and comes fully furnished. The rent is THB 120,000 per month on a minimum one-year lease. BTS Chit Lom is roughly 300 meters away. That puts the whole Ratchaprasong shopping district within an easy covered walk.

At that rent the apartment works out at around THB 1,333 per square metre each month. Space is the selling point. For a tenant who wants a central address, real floor area and a quieter corner of the building, that figure is the one to weigh against smaller units on busier floors elsewhere in the area.

The unit

Layout and size

The apartment measures 90 square metres, split between two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Being a corner unit, it has fewer shared walls than a mid-corridor apartment, and the owner highlights the privacy this brings. The layout is described as well proportioned, with the living and reception area taking a large share of the floor plan. That matters if you entertain at home, work from the sofa, or simply dislike a space where the lounge feels like an afterthought.

Living area and bedrooms

The living room is the centrepiece, which is why it is the first picture in the gallery. Sliding doors appear in several of the photographs. Judge the sight lines and natural light in person, because photographs flatter and flatten in equal measure. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, two adults, or a parent with an older child, can each have their own space without queuing for a shower. Ask at the viewing how the bathrooms relate to each bedroom, so you know exactly how the household will use them.

Furnishing &appliances

The owner lets the apartment fully furnished and ready to occupy, so a tenant can arrive with suitcases rather than a removals van. The listing source does not itemise every piece of furniture or every appliance, and we would rather you see them than read a guess. At the viewing, walk through the apartment room by room with the following in mind:

• The furniture in the living area, both bedrooms and any dining space

• Kitchen equipment and the appliances that stay with the apartment

• Air conditioning, lighting and curtains in each room

• Storage, wardrobes and the condition of each item

• Anything you would prefer to have removed or replaced before moving in

Agree an inventory before you sign. It protects both sides and keeps the deposit conversation at the end of the lease straightforward.

Building facilities

Residents of 28 Chidlom share a wide set of wellness and leisure amenities. The owner lists the following as available to tenants of this unit:

• Fitness centre

• Swimming pool

• Yoga room

• Onsen

• Sauna

• Library

Public project information also points to a steam room, a spa, a children's pool, landscaped garden areas, a staffed lobby and security cameras. The mix leans towards relaxation rather than sport alone. An onsen and a library are less common in Bangkok condominiums, and together they give the building a calmer, more residential feel than the retail towers around it. Facility hours and booking rules are set by the juristic office, so ask for the current house rules when you view.

The building

28 Chidlom was developed by SC Asset and completed in 2019, which makes it a recent building by central Bangkok standards. The project is made up of two residential buildings, the Tower and the Villa, and this apartment is in the Villa. The owner describes the Villa as the side with fewer units and a high degree of privacy. If you dislike crowded lifts and corridors, that counts for a good deal.

The development gives landscaped garden areas a place within a tight city plot, and for a tenant coming from a busy road frontage that setting is part of the appeal. One rule is worth knowing early: pets are not permitted in this unit, and the building itself restricts animals unless the juristic office gives specific permission.

The neighbourhood

Transport

The nearest station is BTS Chit Lom, around 300 metres from the project. From there a skybridge runs directly into Central Chidlom department store, and a covered sky walk continues to the Ratchaprasong intersection and on to Siam. You can reach several of the city's largest retail destinations without crossing a road at street level. In the rainy season, that is a real advantage.

Shopping and dining

Central Chidlom is the closest department store, and Central Embassy, which includes the Park Hyatt hotel, is a short walk away. Gaysorn Village and CentralWorld stand around the Ratchaprasong junction, alongside the Erawan Shrine and the Pratunam clothing market. Siam Paragon and Siam Square are one station further along the sky walk. Between them these centres cover supermarkets, restaurants at every price, cafés, pharmacies and everyday services. Most errands do not need a taxi.

Green space and the Langsuan side

Lang Suan, immediately to the south, is a quieter residential pocket close to Lumpini Park, the Royal Bangkok Sports Club and the Sindhorn Village mixed-use development. It is a useful area to know if you want weekend alternatives to the malls. Lumpini Park is the city's best-known public park and a favourite for running, cycling and walking.

Who this apartment suits

We see four sensible matches for a corner two-bedroom of this size and in this location:

• Professionals and executives who want a short walk to the BTS and to offices around Ploenchit, Sukhumvit and Silom, and who value a home that is quiet at night.

• Couples who work from home and need a living area large enough to share, with a second bedroom that can double as a study.

• Small families with one or two children who want a central address without the long commutes of the suburbs.

• Corporate relocations where the employer expects a furnished apartment, a one-year lease and an address that is easy to explain to visitors.

Some honest trade-offs are worth stating. The owner accepts non-smoking tenants only and does not permit pets, so this will not suit a household with a dog or a cat. The monthly rent is a substantial commitment, and the one-year minimum means this is not a short-term stay. Chidlom is a busy commercial district. The corner position and the Villa location help, but you are still living in the middle of the city rather than in a leafy cul-de-sac. Families with school-age children should check the commute to their chosen school before committing, since travel times vary a great deal with the school and the hour of the day.

Getting around

BTS Chit Lom is on the Sukhumvit Line. One stop west, Siam is where the Sukhumvit and Silom lines meet, giving access to the Silom and Sathorn business areas and the National Stadium. Heading east, the line continues through Phloen Chit and Nana towards Asok, where it meets the MRT Blue Line. The Lumphini MRT station on the Blue Line serves the park side of the district, and the Airport Rail Link station at Ratchaprarop is also nearby, which helps if you travel often. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are easy to find at any hour. Traffic around Ploenchit and Ratchaprasong can be heavy at peak times, though, so for most journeys the train will be faster.
